Hi Ian,
I use a pair of Audio Technica AT4022's with a Schneider Disk for recording=
in the wild, they have very low self noise (13dB(A)) and compare very favo=
rably to MKH8020's from all I have read and heard, and can be bought for ar=
ound a quarter of the price.
Check out Vicki Powys comparison on SoundCloud:

Kind regards,
Tony Innes
